I have one question regarding the alternate states.my requirements is like below.

i created a qv document with two sheets sheet1 and sheet 2.I created two alternate states like StateA and StateB.

sheet1 has alternate state StateA and sheet2 has alternate state as StateB.

In sheet1 i have one country list box with countries as values .

Country

------------

India

Japan

China

Germany

In second sheet i have one stight tablw with values like below.

Country company Revenue

----------- -------- -------------

India IBM 1000000

Japan HP 1000

China IBM 15000000

Germany SAP 20000

China HP 100000

my requirement is the list box selections i made in sheet1(StateA) should be send to shee2(StateB) and

also, upon sheet2 activation i have to select value "HP" in company column value.

for this i have added two actions for shee2 onActivateSheet .one action will use "copy state contents" with source as StateA and target as StateB ,another one is "select in field " with field company and value as HP.for both the actions i have selected alternate state as "StateB".

After selecting country as china and once navigates into sheet2 ,the table showing two records instead of one.

company column still showing both IBM and HP.so "selection in field" action is not working.

I believe that you just can't rely on the execution order of the actions so that the copy states selection overrides the select in field action. Try to use an action instead that copies only the required field values to state B, like a Select in field action on field Country (in state B) and as search string
